After the moderate success of his latest album Here I Stand, Usher has fired his manager Benny Medina and has since, rehired his mother, Jonnetta Patton as his manager. Patton was unceremoniously fired last year - allegedly on orders of Usher’s wife Tameka Foster-Raymond.
Usher jokingly told the press that he “retired” his mother so she could become a glorified babysitter to his and Tameka’s son Usher Raymond V.
“With an artist like Usher, the bar is set really high,” Medina tells E! News. “Whether it was management, marketing or the music, we achieved a No. 1 single and a No. 1 album…I had a great time and we parted ways amicably.”
